OSDir.com: What's the craziest/toughest spamming scheme that the SpamAssassin team has encountered and dealt with?
Quinlan: That would probably be advance fee fraud, also known as "Nigerian" or "419" scams. These messages are often literally sent individually to each recipient, mutating each time, by scammers typically located somewhere in West Africa. Because they often are sent in low volume, and almost every one is somewhat different, they are a bit tricky to catch.
An easy solution for home users who don't happen to know anyone from West Africa is to just block all e-mail from there. But even without that, I have had decent success in the past with a combination of SpamAssassin tagging e-mails and Thunderbird filtering. Stay away from OE. Far, far away.
I think we should be asking ourselves whether public wifi is a good idea, if competition is available (not always the case, but is true in big cities like Philadelphia). I mean, how reliable would such a service be? How fast? Secure? And the funding has to come from somewhere....
At DigitalLife in NYC this past year, Google had a large colorful booth where they tried to familiarize visitors with all of their different services. They gave out cards that you could get stamped if you tried out a service at the booth, and if you got enough stamps, you get a hat/t-shirt/whatever.
Are you married? Does your spouse work? How much money do you have saved up? What was your income? Where do you live? How old are you? How much experience do you have? etc, etc.
I don't think end users can be trusted to protect their computers. At a minimum, providers of Cable and DSL should make customers use modems with built-in NAT/firewall.

What is inefficient about machine-parsing of XML (not a troll, I'm really curious)? It seems to me to be a logical structure for information.
...but I wonder what the point is exactly. They should be targeting the DS to new customers (more market share for their new handheld is important vs. the PSP, especially with regard to attracting developers), and I don't think that they're selling this device to DS-owners.
If they would actually get $150,000 per person per movie they sued, I wonder how that would compare to the actual gross revenue of top movies in history before the Internet (compensating for inflation).
Were the subjects told before the test that one would be the "regular" one and one would be the "stress" (i.e. professors will see the scores) one? In other words, I'm wondering whether knowing beforehand that a test is important will lead to more studying/preparation and negate the effect of stress on the test day itself. If it negates such effects, standardized tests (although they may have other problems) wouldn't be affected by this issue, as the vast majority of people prepare for these exams.

It would help people who are searching in the first place (they wouldn't use the library website for the search itself).

I wonder if Google image search has already indexed this (would help with the bandwidth problems).

Does anyone know how much a season of production costs? Even 3 million may not be enough....

I'm wondering why so many bulky computer books are softcover...
Any ideas what those 2 are?

Agreed. Tiger should be coming out in a couple of months now. The new xgrid stuff looks really nice......
2) It might raise the price of the iPod. That would also be unappealing to consumers.
The iPod is already costs a bit more than the competition; there's no need to raise the price higher right now.
The problem is that there's no line-in. So instead of being able to plug in a cheap mike, you're forced to buy a $30 accessory.
There are more important things that should be added to the iPod before satellite radio: a microphone and/or a line in, for one.
AFAIK, most CS grad schools don't do interviews. I'm not familiar with other grad school fields, though.
